Come out to The Beach House to catch the great musical talent of Bim Skala Bim! Formed in Boston, they were a third wave ska band that started in 1983. They were influenced by the bands in England's 2 Tone movement, as well as bands such as the Clash, UB40 and Bob Marley.
The Rolling Stone said: “Though they hail from the same ska-punk scene in Boston as the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Bim Skala Bim have never enjoyed the kind of sales as their brethren. But don’t confuse commercial success with artistic success, the latter of which the Bim boys have had in spades. On this, the other B.S.B. — who are stylistically closer to Sublime and the Toasters than any boy band — deliver more than a dozen slices of British-style ska reminiscent of the Specials and Madness. Happy, peppy and horny, their tunes “Step Up To Me” and “Long Way” sound like the kind drunken frat rats love to pogo too, while the laid-back reggae-influenced rhythms of “Food for the Soul” and their catchy cover of Gershwin’s “Popcorn” will give rude boys a chance to catch their breath.” (PAUL SEMEL)
